Status: New Grad, BS CS Top 20 CS school\n\nInterviewing: \n- Location: Redwood City, CA\n- Position: IC1\n- Dates: Oct - Nov 2020\n\n**Background:**\nFirst time applying to Oracle OCI. Recruiter reached out to me on Linkedin, then process moved quickly along. Applied to the 2 year rotational program for new grads.\n\n**HR Phone Screen**\nRecruiter called and had discussion on what classes I\'ve taken, some questions on why Oracle, work status elgibility, and other administrative stuff. Pretty chill and scheduled a phone round for next week.\n\n**Phone Interview**\nThis round lasted 1 hour. Spent 5 minutes talking about my background and introduction, then jumped into coding. Then 5 minutes at the end for questions. Didn\'t discuss space/time complexity.\nhttps://leetcode.com/problems/merge-intervals/\n\n**Virtual onsite** - 1 hour each\nRound 1 - \nInterviewed with another engineer from Seattle. 10 minutes of behavioral/resume questions, then went on to coding. Had discussion on time/space complexity.\nhttps://leetcode.com/problems/lru-cache/\n\nRound 2 - \nInterviewed with an engineer from Seattle. Mainly asked resume based questions and a lot of OCI values.\n\nRound 3 - \nInterviewed with a non-technical person. Mainly asked resume based questions and a lot of OCI values.\n\n**Thoughts**\nHonestly thought there would be 1 round behavioral, and 2 round technical. But it was the other way around. I prepared by doing Oracle leetcode tagged questions in the past 6 months. I think extensive preparation around OCI values and behavioral questions is a must. They take culture fit very seriously. \n\nGot the offer a couple hours after the onsite.
